Here's A Take On The "Transgender" Ban From Someone Who Has Been The Tip Of The Spear
This is one man's experience, but what he says makes sense, and doesn't apply just to "transgenders." Wounded Warrior's 17-Tweet Tirade Is Getting Attention for Its Explanation of Trump's Transgender Ban. Psychological stability seems like it is a reasonable prerequisite for military service. Even some stable and mature men see combat and come home with significant psychological issues. It is simply rational to restrict entry into the military to those who are emotionally even-keeled and best able to handle the stress of combat.
I have stolen OregonMuse's idea and made the tweet storm easier to read....- I served in Iraq in 2006. For the first five months I was on a 12 man firebase out in the middle of nowhere in the desert.
- Everyday was Groundhog Day. Wake up and do the same patrols, the same shifts, every single day. It was so damn hot. 150° in the gun trucks.
- Tracer fire would go overhead occasionally at night. IED's on the road were a daily threat. We got resupplied food every 8 days.
- QRF was an hour away. After they made the minimum three gun truck rule after the guys got kidnapped, life got harder.
- The stress of being out there and doing the same job every single day eats away at you. The younger guys had problems with that overtime.
- Any tiny little personal issue they had suddenly became a mountain. And that shit came out on that fire base. And they snapped mentally.
- After stepping on each other's nuts living in the same can for five months, guys were at each other's throats. The stress made it worse.
- Guys would literally snap over a dear John letter. Their personal issues came out and they were instantly combat ineffective.
- Now take someone confused about whether they are a man/woman. Take those psychological and emotional issues and put them in that environment
- Take someone who is right off the bat not uniform or part of the same team. Give them special treatment because of their identity.
- Take that person, put them in that stressful war environment and watch what happens. It's a fucking ticking time bomb.
- You have to be incredibly tough mentally, physically and emotionally. War is not a fucking video game. It tests every ounce of your being.
- You can't teach someone to be a fearless warrior in a fucking PowerPoint. You either have it or you don't. You can hack it or you can't.
- We had guys who couldn't. When faced with combat situations they crumbled. They had mental and emotional issues. They were a liability.
- To be successful at war, you have to become a warrior mentally, physically, and emotionally. You can't fake it and go through the motions.
- In war if it comes down to kill or be killed, and you hesitate, you're dead. It's a simple as that. It's not a fucking video game.
- War is no place for people who are mentally, emotionally, or physically confused or in turmoil. You have your shit together, or you don't.
- And if you don't, you'll just get people needlessly killed. Political correctness has absolutely no place in the military.
- Enough for now. This one armed veteran has a business to run. Unlike Iran, the country that took my arm, Obama didn't pay me millions.

Good post.
Also, some of those guys coming back and telling everyone they're really supposed to be a woman, that's also a psychological reaction to the process.
In other words, less about what they brought into the war zone, and more about what they took out. Or left behind.
Sending people IN with that on their minds is crazy and stupid and as everyone with any amount of sense can tell you, it is counter purpose to the reason we have a military: to kill effectively.
Now, as we know, there are many people who join the "military" to be civilians in uniform. If you want to say after you joined that you like wearing panties and bras under your uniform, we'll find a REMF job for you. There are plenty of those.

Those who have never been deployed to a shitty situation, have no idea what stress does to you.... and to unit cohesion...
The unit cohesion that keeps you alive, in that shit.
Putting any type of Eros into that stress... it bad...
Putting anyone dysfunctional in, is horrible...
Because under stress, our real selves come out... and all emotions are magnified...

But I think that Frankl actually has useful ideas that can help people.

First mistake is operating on the assumption that "liberals" are amenable to facts, logic, or reason. It is not enough to lay out a methodical, step by step repudiation of their assertions, because their minds are made up. They will not shutup and they won't change the subject.

Salzman is 100% correct. I've had to deal with someone "transitioning" in the workplace, it's a damned nightmare. I'll spare all the freakish details, but here's a description of what it's like:
Take an otherwise normal grown man and replace his personality with that of a 13-14 year old girl going through puberty, with all the angsty crying jags, mood swings, emotional outbursts, and irrationality that that entails.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The purpose of the military is not to defend us in the most effective and efficient way possible.

In fact, the real agenda is to cause chaos. No reasonable person or group would file a lawsuit against Catholic Nuns, or try to force pedophile Scoutmasters, or chicks with dicks in a dress and a three day shadow into a kind of "Choose Your Own Adventure" bathroom system. Meanwhile, the Republicans, who own 3/3rds of government, can't manage the votes to stop federal funding of an organization in the business of harvesting dead baby parts to sell for profit. In fact, the courageous whistleblowers who brought these atrocities to light are the ones who are worried about prosecution. Pretty wacky if ya ask me.

The idea that you must be psychiatrically equipped to handle the stress of combat never enters into the minds of the progs and Hollywood--types who promote transgenders in the military because they are in complete denial that there is anything wrong with transgender people. To them, it's all normal--and they want constant and never-ending validation from everyone else--including the military.

One of the others who work at Wally World with me last night decided to open her pie-hole about this. I did not ask for it, she just unloaded.
When I pointed out that 45% of this group tries to commit suicide but they want to ban people with PTSD from owning guns, it was silence. Nor did she buy the argument of how combat ineffective these people would be.
It all boiled down for her that since the military prescribes Viagra, then they should do the same for the transgender crowd.
Truly is pointless to even discuss it with these people.

I think it's something that can be explained in personality theory, ie, "Thinking" vs. "Feeling." Liberals are generally Feeling types.
Not really sure how this argument is every solved, since Thinkers tend to use "logic and facts" while Feelers use "teh feelingz."
When things get really bad, maybe the anwwer is for Thinking types to just verbally beat down Feeling types and tell them over and over how disagreeaing with them is making them "feel bad." And by "verbally beat down" I pretty much mean "yell at them and make them cry because by disagreeing with you, a Thinkier, the Feeler has really ,really hurt your feelingz."
It probably won't accomplish much, but you'll guilt them into feeling bad and crying.

Any form of OCD is going to be a major problem in a highly stressful environment. The rituals and intrusive thoughts supplant effectively dealing with fear and anxiety - from real or imagined dangers.
The rituals for transgenderism never stop no matter the surgeries or exogenous hormones. The anxiety is never relieved, so other means are tired - which explains the much higher addiction, self-mutilation, STD & suicide rates.

I suspect there are at least some democrats who are against any war or conflict, simply because they are acutely aware of how "dirty" some liberals in government are with respect to state secrets and opsec, security issues, etc. Congress has leaked like a sieve since at least the Vietnam War, and probably much earlier.

You done good.
Suicide and homicide are two sides of the same coin. Ever see the trans-gender homicide rate? Guess what, you'll never find it.
Telling, in a government that likes to track the transfat in a cookie to six decimal points of precision.

Putting him in the military would be sheer lunacy on so many levels.

I wasn't in the military, did oilfield work in my 20's instead. But I know firsthand how you never know how people will react to stress. We had military levels of stress I've been on a well having an H2S blowout where we all wearing respiration tanks, and the nature of that stuff is that if your mask slips, you'll be dead in 15 seconds. And for a few years it was my job to defuse any explosives we sent downhole that didn't go off for some reason. I had wired them up, so at least I knew they didn't have any booby traps, but it was still interesting.
I was one of those odd birds that actually felt more and more calm the more stress I was under - it gave me clarity. Having peace and quiet and no demands is what made me want to drink and do dissipatory stuff. (yeah, adrenaline junkie probably)
But I did see plenty of men, who seemed like any other men, who would just fall apart mentally as soon as any real pressure was put on them. Really starts to show up when you cross the 48 hours without sleep mark.

I don't like to see people suffer. It makes me feel bad.
Virtue signaling won't help them. It makes me look good. I think there ways to help people, that takes effort, hard work, and determination. Liberals don't actually believe any of their BS, it's a way of harnessing political power. The more people who are dependent on government, as "victims", they can play middleman. That's why they have to find a scapegoat, someone to blame, for all these victims. It's all couched in pseudo-science and technical mumbo-jumbo the true believers can recite verbatim while they get their degree in advanced Butthurt Studies at our once proud institutions, on your dime.

I'm like a nerd. I've been obsessing over Wagner's Ring Cycle lately. Clearly, Wagner was heavily influenced by Nietzche.
In the second act of Die Walkure, Woton has a lengthy argument with his wife Fricka in which she upholds traditional morality condemning the adultery of Woton's children Siegsmund with Sieglinde since Sieglinde is already married to Hunding (not to mention that they are brother and sister). Woton accused her of being imprisoned by traditionalism but she eventually convinced him to betray and abandon Siegsmund despite his belief that only Siegsmund can prevent the prophesied defeat and death of the gods, including himself and Fricka. Eventually (in Gotterdammerung) that betrayal does lead to the death of the gods.
Is Wagner, who led a non-traditional lifestyle, arguing that only by abandoning traditional rules of morality can we escape society's destruction? If so, that may help to explain Hitler's worship of Wagner. And Hitler's abandonment of traditional morality didn't work out too well for him.

He is deeply depressed because a) his mother just died, which is clearly understandable, but b) he can't get dates. I don't see his love life taking off, because normal men and women won't have anything to do with him.

There is no such thing as transgender. Our species comes in 2 varieties, male and female.
For those who are confused as to which they are, help is available to resolve this mental/emotional issue.
The military is absolutely the wrong place for ANY type of social experimentation, thus all transgender claimants MUST be purged.

This is the most truth filled series of observations about the Military, combat and the troops I have ever read.
I have seen it happen, bad news from home and troops/sailors snap and start to see everyone as their foe.
The least little word, poor remark or innocent jibe can become a killing event.
To introduce the various genders and sexual preferences is more than just allowing females and different races it adds to the stress and the focus of someones misdirected ire.
A person who is a male but thinks, wishes to be female or vice versus is not stable enough to be a combat soldier nor to be involved with soldiers who are not so confused about their sex and gender trying to stay alive, in one piece and mentally well while trying to win a war and battle.
This integration might be good for a peacetime military but for one that has been at war since 2000 it is suicide.
It's hard enough to stay sane when you are only fighting the enemy, impossible while fighting home, and undergoing social engineering.

He said that Charlie made everyone perform sex acts "everything a guy could do to a guy" and "everything a girl could do to a girl" etc. He made them absolutely with conscience or empathy whatsoever. "Death is Life", and committing suicide at the moment of orgasm was "groovy" and sticking forks in pregnant women was "outtasight" etc. The guy really knew how to brainwash people. There are still a number of adherents, followers, and the rest of it.

their offices a "small business" to get out of OCare. This should have
been a small scandal at the time. HHS Price may be able to undo all
that. If so, it may be easy.

IMO they should be required to use the VA hospital in or nearest their home state.

That's a very good point, and it will be reinforced by the Left telling it's supporters to vote "to put transgenders" BACK into combat...thus reminding everyone why we need Trump....

In 10 months since Obama and Carter instituted this illegal program there are fewer than 1000 who are "actually transitioning". There is your likely number. Yes, it is illegal. It is not the right of the President nor the Secretary of Defense to establish enlistment or commissioning guidelines, it is the domain of Congress and they need to write legislation that ends this crap permanently.

The chicks are almost scarier to me than Charlie, on account of the fact that the female of the species tends towards a more nurturing personality than guys. I don't believe that to be controversial. Yet, these nice middle class corn fed midwestern girls are racking the slide, talking about how we gotta kill anybody or anything that stands in the way. WTF?? A lot of 'em are out on parole.

So here are some interesting tidbits. This all seems perfectly normal to me.
Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who met with Donald Jr and Kusher, is an agent of the Kremlin according to William Browder, the guy who testified in front of the Senate last week about Russia and Fusion GPS.
One of her clients is Sberbank Capital, a Russian government owned bank that is being badly hurt by the imposition of the Magnitsky Act sanctions. There goal and her goal is the removal of those sanctions.
Natalia also worked with Fusion GPS on previous Russian lobbying efforts.
John Podesta got 75,000 shares of Sberbank which he failed to disclose a couple years ago.
Hillary Clinton came out agains the Magnitsky Act while she was Sec of State and while Bubba was getting huge dollars for a speech he gave in Russia to Renaissance Capital, another Putin front.
There is absolutely no way that people as politically connected in DC and with the Russian government as Podesta and Clinton didn't know about the Fusion GPS and Natalia V. scams. In fact, they profited personally from them.

116 is there psychological screening for enlistees? there must be some filters, but still they can't predict who is capable of stressful service and who isn't.
--------
There is a pre-enlistment physical, yes. And some informal assessment by recruiters, background investigations etc. And if course, Basic Training, or Boot Camp itself. Lack of sleep, and heavy physical exertion, unfamiliar environment, can be stressful for a lot of people. It's DEFINITELY not for everybody. And active duty life even in peacetime is very stressful at times. Basically, whatever a lefty loosey liberal claims is almost certainly Grade A Bullshit, when it comes to how the military should be run.
Even a Draft would smoke out a lot of these folks. I know you'll hear claims that a draft isn't needed/wanted, but then, neither were homosexuals or transexuals and the rest of it. A draft across the board makes everybody have real skin in the game, and people might start to notice again what the hell our military is doing. And just as importantly - not doing.
How is it we protect borders in countries we can't even pronounce, yet leave our own borders wide open? The whole thing is insane. Cue the Republicans to trot out admonitions against "isolationism" and "world leader" and "xenophobia" and all the other thought ending cliches.

How is it we protect borders in countries we can't even pronounce, yet leave our own borders wide open? The whole thing is insane. Cue the Republicans to trot out admonitions against "isolationism" and "world leader" and "xenophobia" and all the other thought ending cliches.

How do you even count them? Do you count people who want to transition but haven't yet, or just the ones in the process or who've completed it? I wouldn't trust any of these numbers.

Except for a handful, they are not usually in the forward units, much
less than their overrepresented presence in the military. They are
cooks, janitors, drivers, they are just not very useful when it comes to
being soldiers.

Take mental health and sexuality out of the equation and you still have this: "Identity." The military, especially ground combat functions, are built on an ethos of putting your identity, your ambitions, your dreams, in a blind trust with no promise of having or wanting them when your service is done. "You" are not a "you." The unit is all that matters. To introduce an individual whose onanistic search for "whatever" is off-limits to scrutiny or correction is lethal -- not just lethal but unfair -- to all those around xer who have signed that sacrificial contract in good faith.

Interesting stuff. As I've said repeatedly, the lefts love affair with Russia ended with the Russians response to the Magnitsky Act -- which main 'feature' was the termination of adoptions to American married and gay couples.
The Russians named their tit-for-tat legislation after an adopted Russian child who was left 'forgotten' in a car for nine hours by an American. They could have named it after a Russian child procured for sexual abuse by an American gay couple ------- but they PULLED THEIR PUNCHES. Surprising.
This whole sordid story is coming out and absolutely f'in guaranteed the Dems are going to come out feces smelling.

Saw Dunkirk and really liked it. IMAX 2D and supersound is worth it. Wanted to see it opening weekend but shit happened.
Some reviews of it are bad bloviating. There are women in it -- nurses and such on the ships -- many of whom die just like the men. And Churchill's big " never surrender" speech is read in at the end -- what did they want, Mike Myers playing Churchill.
Michael Caine's streak of "appearances" in Chris Nolan's flicks continues.

Yes, the Iranian supplied IED's were horrible, they were precisely machined explosively formed projectiles that blew through the armor of vehicles like a hot knife through butter. The Iranians (Hezbullah) also provided Passive Infra Red triggers to the Shi'a insurgency too. Out west in Anbar, they tried the EFP's but did not have the machining capability to make them effectively. Fortunately for the Sunni insurgencies, Saddam left them millions of pounds of artillery and mortar rounds that they could use instead.

The Magnitsky Act and loss of Russian infants for adoption really screwed them and *poof* the Russian boogy-man appeared.

It's a tradeoff. There would also be a rise in improper fraternisation with the bears. Especially among the Marines

If I read the Kipling poem correctly, he's saying females are more dangerous because their sole mission in life is to protect their children and spouse, by any means necessary. Yes, he was probably right.
Posted by: stace at July 30, 2017 01:41 PM (7RvOV)
Protect their children by all means, certainly. I'm not sure about "spouse.'
Men are also hard-wired to protect women and children, and if they don't have their own, to protect any women and children within reach if the need arises....

He is dead-on correct that a combat unit is endangered and weakened by knowingly assigning personnel who are psychologically impaired (transgender) or require babysitting/overwatch (sorry, ladies). Both are detriments to the mission. Our military exists to protect our nation, not some SJWs feelz.

It's been said around here for a long time that it doesn't matter how you fight each issue, we're going to lose if we lose the culture war. Trump is fighting this war. I don't know if he's winning it, but fake news is an important enemy target, and Trump is taking it out.

Die Kulturkampf, ie, the Culture War. I think we've already lost, my friend. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but the toothpaste ain't going back in the tube.
Indeed, someday another Democrat will be President, and will reverse (again) Trump's EO's.
I certainly have very little interest in living to see the final ruination of my country, but unless I croak off in the next few years, I probably will.
Too many people in this country have a kind of death wish, wishing to annihilate their personal existence, their own personal moral values, so that they will be found to be socially acceptable.
Living in a moral desert, seemingly alone, while surrounded by the pop culture society where everyone looks like they are having "fun" is a tough road to hoe for a lot of people.

It's kind of interesting. Trump, with his Executive Orders like this one and others, is taking his foot and creating a huge line in the sand between the left and the right.
I think its more between the left and the rest of humanity. So much of what is called "right wing" now is simply common sense stuff people as recently as ten years ago took for granted. Its only the left's incessant screaming and dominance of popular culture that makes it seem like its right wing to oppose their insanity.

I remember what an openly gay guy said to me in college:
He will marry another man, and they will have a child. They will both be biological parents. This will be done by creating a zygote from two sperm.
Continuing (and with my apologies to LASue @ 129) he said the chances were 2-to-1 that their child would be a son. The possible chromosome configurations would be XX (girl), XY (boy) and YX (boy). Quoting from memory here: "The other possibility, which is 1 in 4, is a YY chromosome monster which of course would have to be aborted."
He said it all with the matter-of-fact tone one usually uses for an unremarkable weather report.
For at least one homosexual person, this has been the plan (or at least part of the plan) all along. This was 1984, give or take a year.

My dad even observed the same thing about his female employees. After he'd blown off some fight with a competing company's guy, his loyal staff just wouldn't let it go. He was grateful, but also wished they would chill out for a change.

The Mooch started strong last week and I wanted to like him.
Then he went unhinged. He had a son earlier this week by the wife who served divorce papers on him later this week. Which may explain his rant to The New Yorker mid-week. Don't tell me this was planned. He embarrassed himself and Trump.
The Mooch's bigger issue is that a Chinese outfit with mysterious government connections, which Big US Banks won't deal with, wants to overpay for his business. The Mooch still needs the same kind of approval that Hillary got for that uranium sale -- which is why the Mooch hasn't officially joined the WH yet. And he wants favorable tax treatment that he's no longer entitled to. This is a scandal waiting to happen, and the Mooch didn't do himself (or Trump) by making himself so hot so early.
I have a hard-on for this self-fellater because I'm a Bannon guy -- the Mooch is with Ivanka.

Their goal, in my view, isn't so much the normalizing of perversion, but the de-normalizing of humanity.
It's not that pedophilia, or bestiality, or any other sexual abnormality is their "goal", per se, but that the further they can drive the culture in that direction, the easier it is to convince the masses at large to be OK with absolutely sub-human, evil things. Like socialized medicine. Like civil-asset forfeiture. Like rounding up all those deplorables one glorious day and shoving them into bio-electric fluid vats to use as a power source.

Most of the lefts "success" is not a matter of permanence. It seems like it, and this part of the momentum, and part if the scam - "right side of history" and all. They are also absolute professionals at making the majority, the normal, good people - believe that they are the minority, while at the same time providing the illusion that a tiny minority of crackpots are the majority and "thought leaders" and wave of the future.
Now you know what all those "think tanks" have been doing, the institutes for social research, etc etc. But humans can be molded and turn on a dime - whether for good or for evil. THAT is why they are entering their totalitarian phase, to try and hold the "gains" they've made, to crush any dissent, and to criminalize even a discussion of alternative viewpoints. They know damn well their support is miles wide but only nanometers thick. Bradley turned Chelsea can easily be lead into burning their house down. After all, they created this monster - they know better than most how easy it is, and how fragile the society is.

There was a drag queen show on my AFB last month. I have no idea how well it was attended.

234 #221 why did conservatives abandon teaching as a profession
Why ?
Posted by: Jared at July 30, 2017 02:00 PM (ziMCN)
It's a good question. I think it may be due in part to the Frankfurt gang gradually taking over and making it such a hostile environment for right-thinking people they opt out.

Better to get their attention by calling their name and then running away from them. Then they'll chase you. Same game.

Yeah. Especially if they're running around in the street. Get *away* from the street and call them.
Don't ask me how I know this.

why did conservatives abandon teaching as a profession
I think working with kids and education tends to attract leftists more (shaping minds, a sense of power, changing the world, etc its all fantasies of power and such) and its not easy to make it through the required college degrees with your conservatism intact, for young people at least. And of course, unions and other organizations are not kind to conservatives.
I think conservatives should focus on administration in schools instead of teaching. In that position you can shape curriculum, hiring, firing, etc. Its work that will attract conservatives more with a sense of work, logic, order, etc.

Agree with the last part, but as for the first sentence I've seen wives who refused to forgive people for slights to their husbands long after the husband had laughed it off. My dad even observed the same thing about his female employees. After he'd blown off some fight with a competing company's guy, his loyal staff just wouldn't let it go. He was grateful, but also wished they would chill out for a change.

This is true and it's the real reason why groups of male friends "break-up" when they get married--or even start going "steady" with girls. the boys can josh and joke with each other and call each other names and make remarks about dick-size or whatever, but the girls don't laugh along and before you know it.....
On the other hand, I've seen these same girls take these same guys ( their husbands or boyfriends) and break their balls viciously and wear them down to a nub within a few years--all the while cheating on them.

No, the question is why people send their kids to the liberal hell holes? Homeschool, online school, private school. There are options, most just don't prioritize it.

Their goal, in my view, isn't so much the normalizing of perversion, but the de-normalizing of humanity.
Well people talk about useful idiots for Communism, but I think Satan finds them useful as well. People who will advocate and do things they might consider terrible in another context but can be easily tempted and manipulated with songs of "for the children" and "to help the oppressed" and most of all a rousing chorus of "get them back for how they gave you bad feels"
Satan doesn't need to fight to keep lost souls. But that's not his primary goal. He's not interested in harvesting souls, he's focused on hating God and fighting against Him.

The other day somebody called into my local radio station to say that his son is ineligible for military service because he has a peanut allergy. With the peanut allergy he can't be stationed anywhere in the world because he might have a medical emergency should he accidentally be exposed to peanuts.
I think far too many people have no idea how the military really works and think it's just another job. It isn't.

The really frustrating thing for single guys is that we know there are good women out there. We see them. We know them. We are around them.
They're all married to other people. Good women almost always get grabbed early and if you missed out on the sweetheart who will be loyal, respectful, and good while being the kind that will help shape you into a better man, walk with you into righteousness, and share her wisdom.... you just struck out. And there's no more at bats. It seems like all you find are the damaged goods, the harpies, the serpents, the bitches, and the women who seem wonderful then pull out the long knives.
There are still good women out there, of course. They're just super hard to find because they've gone through a gauntlet of abusive cheating liars and needy wretched wimps. So they're very shy.

Something about 'those who can... do... while those who can't - teach'. It became 'a thing' when the economy was going gangbusters. Those 'who could' made a ton of money.
The left snuck into those low-paying teaching positions and took over.
At the end of my career I did somewhere around a half a decade in private school teaching, but was completely outnumbered and unprepared. Walked away with a left-wing whispering campaign all over my ass which ultimately tore the school apart and it failed as the core of conservative parents refused to believe the left and kept their kids and dollar$ away. When these people on the left play for control, they are playing for keeps.

Great trivia about Dunkirk.
The old guy featured in the flick with his own boat, crewed by his son and another boy, is based on Charles Lightoller, the most senior officer who survived Titanic. He was in charge of loading lifeboats and was going to go down with the ship, but managed to hold onto wreckage until rescued (because there wasn't some bitch hogging it!). The reference to how he knew some much about fighter planes is true too.

In my immediate family and all of my inlaws families, everyone in my generation and our parents' generation has been married once, and have been married for decades. All of the kids are growing up as good people. The men don't hate all the women, and vice versa . Maybe, just maybe we are onto something with these healthy relationships.
Now on the other hand, I've been assaulted a couple of times and followed once by men who were strangers, but I never say that ALL men are sexually violent. "SOME" is a healthy, resilient way of thinking.

Know what you mean, but I'm not buying it. For one thing, the choice for most people isn't simply between taking a "low wage" teaching job and earning a shit load of money. Not everyone who doesn't teach is raking in the big bucks, and in case you haven't heard, teaching these days is not a "low-wage' job. Not in this economy. Teachers are doing very well, and if they aren't exactly pulling down Wall Street money, they have summers off, retire early and have great pensions and benefits. And most of them seem to be married to other teachers--or cops, firemen and other public service employees whose wages have shot up out of all proportion to reality. And all these salaries and pensions are what's making the taxes sky high.
Of course, I'm in NJ so mileage may vary..

It was drawn post-9/11 by an art student who even sold it on t-shirts. She indignantly withdrew it when she learned that people were using the drawing for "warmongering". I'm not sure then what she thought her angry Statue of Liberty carrying a revolver was supposed to mean--but of course art students are often very confused.

Teachers are doing very well, and if they aren't exactly pulling down Wall Street money, they have summers off, retire early and have great pensions and benefits.
All good points.
You can add to that list that tenure makes them all but unfireable, regardless of performance.

The big kahuna in all of this was the quiet insistent push by the left to have "reassignment" surgery made into a free service-connected benefit.
Those surgeries are ridiculously expensive. And the person thus "transitioning" is in a condition for quite a while where they would simply not be deployable or combat-effective. A double whammy to military funding and readiness.
But wait! There's more! Now how much would you pay!
Imagine ordinary civilian puke Snuffy wants to be Sybil instead. Can't afford the choppadickoffame procedure. Snuffy signs up at the recruiting station and becomes PFC Snuffy. Then declares he's "transitioning" and gets his "free" reassignment surgery.
Then imagine that PFC Sybil isn't happy with the outcome. As so many trannies are not. The hard reality doesn't match the glossy fantasy. "She" can't pass. Becomes depressed and suicidal. Can't perform duties in the service. Can't hold down a job on civvy street either.
Well, as a former VA benefits counselor helpfully pointed out to me, guess what? That psychiatric debilitation is in and of itself a "service-connected disability" because it was incurred while Snuffy/Sybil was on duty in the ranks. So we then get to pay decades of disability benefit to such individuals even if they never were anywhere near any strenuous service or actual combat.

Teachers do earn pretty good money especially for the amount of time off they get, and yeah tenure is extremely valuable. Plus, once you have your lesson plan set, its mostly just running down the same list again each class.

All good points and true. But the exodus of conservative thought from schools probably coincided with a really great economy. As the economy turned the corner around Y2K, and manufacturing in this country took a nosedive the leftists scrambled into the suddenly lucrative teaching and 'public service' positions.

My guess is the other way around, looking at the way Dewey, Marcuse, Gramsci and their followers down the line coopted education. I could be wrong.

The median teacher salary for an individual is higher than the median household income for the United States.
The concept that they are "low paid" only proliferates because they teachers unions have a full blown ad campaign to push that meme.
A two teacher household would rank in the top 25% of all American households.

Any wonder why the left was dead-set on killing American manufacturing?

"Here where I live in Georgia, average teacher salary is $51,000 before bonuses and benefits."
The big benefit in becoming an educrat where I live is having an iron-rice-bowl job all the way through a cushy retirement.
Dismissal for cause essentially does not exist, even for utterly incompetent teachers who demonstrably cannot do the jobs for which they were hired.
However, the one thing which does cause teachers to get fired here in Commiefornia is when districts downsize due to a lack of pupils.
That is one BIG-ASS reason why the education-industrial complex lined itself up behind the open borders movement. As long as youths are here in this country, illegally or not, the black-robed radicals have ruled that they must be educated at public expense.
The teachers need as many young warm bodies as possible to keep their racket rolling along. And they'll perforce happily endorse the fiction that a Guatemalan gang member who's obviously in his late 20s or early 30s is actually eleven.

That's when I start filling in the gaps with my imagination.
The Statue of Liberty is 110 years older than the USA -- so the baby is not hers. Whose is it, then? And why does she have a gun?
The gun is easy. Lady Liberty lives on the rough side of town -- New Jersey, on the Hudson -- so she packs for protection. She's also drawn to look like a high school girl, so she was probably at her prom.
As to whose baby it is -- I don't know, and neither does Liberty. She found the baby in a trash can. Someone at the prom had this baby, swaddled it in a flag, and abandoned it out back. Probably that psycho bitch Columbia.
Before Lady Liberty became an icon, Columbia was a common personification of America. But she snapped. Refer to the main topic of this post.
; in Columbia's case, it was the Civil War. Some females, even of the quasi-mythological variety, are evil, and some are crazy. Columbia is certifiable, and unpredictable. So Liberty asks herself, Who knows what she'll do? So Liberty carries.
As for Columbia, no one knows what happened to her. She was leading settlers out West about 140 years ago. It's ben rumored that she's been stirring trouble in East Saint Louis, Illinois. Some people said she's the one who started the race riots in Newark. I don't know. I wish her well, but for now you can count me on Team Liberty.

And after I get the procedures done, I'll be unhappy and need to be conspensated by the government for the rest of my life, since I won't be able to work.

Soros obviously funded and pulled strings for Hillary.
Soros also financially supported The John S. McCain Institute For Being A Pompous Lying Shitheel (which seems to exist to hold "civic affairs forums" in luxury resorts in Sedona featuring prominent "public intellectuals" like Ben Affleck).
So it seems pretty likely that there must be some Soros back channel involving Fusion GPS, too. The tentacles reach everywhere.

The pretense that they are working in some rarefied intellectual pursuit is offensive.
There are websites that do as good a job as most American teachers.

Used to argue with teachers all the time. They love to compare the importance of THEIR job as opposed to ball players ( for some reason they always fixated on Alex Rodriguez) who make "so much more than teachers." I used to laugh but they were serious.
Compare your salary to that of a professional athlete, and you will always be "underpaid."

Perhaps. I'm a results oriented person, and somehow all of my immediate family and inlaws have had successful long term marriages. Some of my close friends screwed up their starter marriages but got their second marriages right.
What are we all doing that causes this success? I dunno, but I do know that the women aren't men haters, and the men aren't women haters. That way leads to failure, in my experience. Yes, it's just a personal observation, but my parents certainly were and are good role models, and I think that's key. As I said, I'm extremely blessed.

Hey, andycanuck, sorry I didn't respond to your question in the book thread.

So let me tell you a story about one of my 6th grade teachers. We were assigned to write a report for a history assignment. My report was about the American Revolution. I got a B on the paper. Why? Because I used the phrase "American Revolution". She told me it was redundant, because there was only one revolution.
Fast forward about 25 years and this same teacher has been affirmative-actioned up through the ranks and has become the principal of the high school I attended. It is in this position in which she is hoisted upon the PC petard and immediately fired when she tells two students who claim to be in a lesbian relationship that they are going to hell.

250 I think working with kids and education tends to attract leftists more (shaping minds, a sense of power, changing the world, etc its all fantasies of power and such) and its not easy to make it through the required college degrees with your conservatism intact, for young people at least. And of course, unions and other organizations are not kind to conservatives.
*******
I think it depends on the program and the instructors. I got my teaching certificate when programs were welcoming older students who had previous careers. So my classes had IT techs, technical writers, a chemical process operator, etc. when I went to Wayne State, most of the instructors worked in schools, so the special ed instructor was the principal at the local school for the deaf, the reading instructor was expert at selecting textbooks (and explained why Texas and California dictate what other states can get), and the adolescent psychology prof was a child psychologist.
They were instructors that could tell you about how to teach when your school has no materials, what to do when a kid comes into your class midway through a marking period, and how educational fads were going to come and go.
Those were really helpful classes. Then a few years later I attended another college for re-certification. I ended up with professors who did research or consulted in classrooms but weren't day-in-day-out classroom teachers. A couple were excellent, but I got really tired of being told that students asking off-the-wall questions were "teachable moments" (no, they're similar to kids avoiding bedtime). And the guy who compared our schools unfavorably to New Hampshire schools (his state) based on statistics like state test scores and whenever a teacher explained how a method hadn't worked in class, he'd say it was "anecdotal evidence".

What's the next Stupidity we'll need to make a case against?
TOO EASY.
Answer: Trans-species people who want to join the military as working dogs. It's coming. Bet on it.
As my wife noted this morning, there's no end to it for two reasons primarily. On the macro level all leftist/pathologies/agendas are geared to sowing chaos and the eventual destruction of capitalism and western civilization. On a smaller scale, it is the need of special snowflakes to be acknowledged as "special and unique". Once their particular pathology is normalized, there is a need to go next-level to achieve the shock and outrage they crave so badly.
I have no discernable special skills or abilities, so notice me because I covered my body with tattoos. Now notice me because I had my appearance surgically altered to appear to be a demon, another gender or an animal. Normalize THAT!
OK, now I had a perfectly good leg removed so I can take on the mantle of disabled "victim". Now I had my skin darkened to take on the persona of victimized "person of color".
And on and on it goes. There is nothing you can think of, no matter how insane, that doesn't loom as the next damn thing. That's why adults need to draw a line NOW, before the next group of disturbed idiots gets the next idiocy going.

>>So it seems pretty likely that there must be some Soros back channel involving Fusion GPS, too. The tentacles reach everywhere.
Ever heard of Lynn Forester de Rothschild? Very wealthy and almost fanatical supporter of Hillary Clinton. When Obama scholnged Hillary in 08, Rothschild who was a member of the DNC planning committee, famously refused to support Obama and threw her support to McCain.
She was going to support Romney but then supported Huntsman at least until he got beaten in the primaries. She eventually support Obama. In 2012, Fusion GPS started going after Romney mega donors with all sorts of wild and false allegations which were even listed on Obama's official website.
Of course, she went bigly for Hillary against Trump.
Rothschild is also the head of the John McCain foundation. Her hubby is an to an enormous banking fortune and very involved with the David Miliband in the UK. It was a retired British spy who put the bogus dossier together.
Randy Scheunemann ran a lobbying firm in DC for a long time and is a top McCain foreign policy advisor. He was also on the payroll of George Soros and did lobbying for his Open Society crap. He also did work for guys like Tony Blair and I'm sure Miliband.
The McCain foundation does these stupid Sedona conferences where the smart set sits around and contemplates the problems of the world. It's full of lefties and one world government types including Amy Klobuchar and Sheldon Whitehouse. And of course both the Rothschilds and Randy Scheunemann. Hillary has spoken at these events, so has Tony Blair and even assholes like James Clapper.
This years version went heavy on Russia and the usual suspects were all there. McCain is the only Republican I know of that had the Russia Dossier before it went public.
This cabal stinks of collusion and anti-Trump/pro-Hillary bias.
This is a good start.

Randy Scheunemann ran a lobbying firm in DC for a long time and is a top McCain foreign policy advisor. He was also on the payroll of George Soros and did lobbying for his Open Society crap. He also did work for guys like Tony Blair and I'm sure Miliband.
The McCain foundation does these stupid Sedona conferences where the smart set sits around and contemplates the problems of the world. It's full of lefties and one world government types including Amy Klobuchar and Sheldon Whitehouse. And of course both the Rothschilds and Randy Scheunemann. Hillary has spoken at these events, so has Tony Blair and even assholes like James Clapper.
This years version went heavy on Russia and the usual suspects were all there. McCain is the only Republican I know of that had the Russia Dossier before it went public.
This cabal stinks of collusion and anti-Trump/pro-Hillary bias.

I had a government/civics teacher in high school who was giving us the "No one gets an A in my class" speech at the start of the year.
I was a bit of a smartass (hard to believe, I know) and so I said to a friend in front of me "He must not be a very good teacher, then."
He heard me saying something and pulled the whole embarrass me thing by making me "share with the whole class". I said "I told him you must not be a very good teacher if no one can master the material in your class."
I got numerous laughs and many gasps plus one evil glare from the teacher. That was a looooong year, needless to say.

Heh, another anecdote from my childhood. My uncle married a woman from Tacoma, WA. She's *very* liberal and has always looked down on the Southern side of the family as backwards, ignorant hicks. Once when they were visiting she was in the midst of informing my mother of how poor the public schools in the South are when my cousin, two years older and two grades ahead of my brother, comes into the room hoisting a textbook and loudly exclaims, "This is cool, Mom! Charles (my brother) is using the same math book in class that I use!"

The metal bats deform and dent beyond the point of usefulness after a while. A good Luhvull Slugger will either split or stay solid, and a good one will stay solid for a lo-o-ng time. It is also denser than the metal bat, with a corresponding effect on the Antifa-hai or zombie struck with it.

An excellent teacher I had in High School:
Retired USAF Major (prior enlisted) who taught civics and government. He had served as a Navigator/EWO on BUFFs in Vietnam. He'd tell the kids who weren't paying attention or otherwise blowing off class that they'd end up as cannon fodder one way or the other, either figuratively or literally, because they'd be too ignorant to understand what was going on in the world around them.

Transgenders in the military is simply the latest tool being used by the Progressives to whip-up their base about a "diversity" issue and against the evil Republicans and Christians. Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, etc., couldn't give a rat's ass about the transgenders and their "issues." Put them on truth-serum and I bet they'd be against it on pure military effectiveness.
McCain will be against anything PDT is for. Back in the day, he'd likely have been first in line to brutally haze any transgender in his unit or on his ship.
The MFM is like Pavlov's dog on this and similar societal issues: They will instantly salivate-out a stream of words denouncing any "anti-diversity" move the PDT, the Republicans, the Christians, and the Deplorables (TM) make or are in favor of. It's reflexive, and the same terms are used regardless of the specific issue: Bigots, racists, misogynists, etc.

My dad even observed the same thing about his female employees. After he'd blown off some fight with a competing company's guy, his loyal staff just wouldn't let it go. He was grateful, but also wished they would chill out for a change.

This is true and it's the real reason why groups of male friends "break-up" when they get married--or even start going "steady" with girls. the boys can josh and joke with each other and call each other names and make remarks about dick-size or whatever, but the girls don't laugh along and before you know it.....
On the other hand, I've seen these same girls take these same guys ( their husbands or boyfriends) and break their balls viciously and wear them down to a nub within a few years--all the while cheating on them.

399 But the metal bat produces more bat speed which does more damage, is harder for the battee to deflect or dodge, and makes it more user friendly for most people. Moreover, it is easier to clean without leaving trace evidence.

@ Buford Pusser,
Equipment changes over time. There is a reason Roger Federer does not use wooden rackets, and Jordan Spieth does not use persimmon woods. Don't put yourself at a competitive disadvantage before the game even starts.

As for bloodstains, a little good grease remover will get those stains out.

281 Teachers do earn pretty good money especially for the amount of time off they get, and yeah tenure is extremely valuable. Plus, once you have your lesson plan set, its mostly just running down the same list again each class.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at July 30, 2017 02:29 PM
I have to correct you on that last point. Just a few weeks ago I met a NC math teacher. His lesson plans CANNOT be the same or he will get called onto the carpet. I think that's a little extreme because I have some activities that work well and are popular with the kids.
That said, my lesson plans never work the same because I have different kids each year. The last two years, my evaluator was surprised to see that my lesson plans also included notes like "3rd hour will do X instead", but that happens when a class is different from the others (like the one I had with only fifteen students but eight had probation officers).
I had a principal with the bright idea of having all teachers put their lesson plans in a database so he could just take them and give them to new-hires. We've done this for three years. First thing he noticed now that 1/4 of the teachers must replaced? Not a single year matches!
I am struggling right now with trying to figure out the curriculum and plans that were handed off to me (new subject, and the curriculum comes from another state). It seems awfully simple. An experienced teacher told me she had to supplement it, meaning she writes grammar lessons and adds essay-writing practice because the curriculum is so basic.
BTW tenure doesn't count in my state. If my evaluation is better than another teacher with seniority, I can bump her. My senior (about six years more) changed career paths suddenly after our administration decided to give her my classes and me, hers. Guess she doesn't want to work 10-12 hour days to differentiate instruction!

I agree with you and like I said earlier, there was a subtle switch to teaching a "subject" and teaching "education." Many teachers actually know squat about the subject they are teaching, but they they possess the all important "teacher's certificate."

Ash trees are being decimated by the emerald ash borer, imported from China in wood skids (pallets, whatever) about 15 year ago. Killed all the ash trees on my street.
Baseball bats are made out of either hickory or hard maple if ash isn't available or chosen by players.
Players have preferences. Wood can have a different feel to different players.
Hard maple, in particular, doesn't chip as much as ash, but can sometimes shatter more easily. And a lot of the ash isn't as good as it once was.

Rock maple?
Hard maple, in particular, doesn't chip as much as ash, but can
sometimes shatter more easily. And a lot of the ash isn't as good as it
once was.

Heh, yep, and it's about dealing out justice to some very bad people. To paraphrase Mattis again, it's fun to kill some people, guys who've been slapping around women for not wearing a veil. I could never be a leftist.
I keep thinking about this discussion on Nextdoor I was on yesterday. A mom with three young children is uneasy about all the homeless men suddenly turning up her alley. She feels sorry for them but doesn't want them there. Other women and one conservative man chime in agreeing that their situation is unfortunate, but there are numerous good shelters and it's unsafe to have those guys living in the alley. One woman says she always carries a gun just in case, even though she knows the vast majority of homeless aren't violent.
Lefty man gets on and freaks out, having trouble understanding why the moms are a little uneasy about having strange men with mental and substance abuse issues lurking around their homes. He says they just need to be talked to or left alone. Yeah, buddy, whatever.

Retired and or financially independent Morons and Moronettes should be teaching high school.
We also need a lot more old-fashioned principals to hire said teachers.

Sorry. Late to party. Had a liberal Army CSM tell me today, he didn't care - if they were brave enough to be shot at.
Didn't have a respectful answer.

"Back in the 80's, I had a BAS with a Marine grunt unit. My chief and I
would get all the under performers, dummies and fuck ups and keep them
in the BAS. We put our best corpsman out with the companies."
I was an HHC commander in the 80's. My medic platoon leader wanted to send all the fuckups to the Fort Hood hospital when they asked for personnel.
I asked him if he thought a good analogy for his medics was to say that serving in the tank battalion was close to Hell, serving in the Brigade Aide station was close to Purgatory, and serving in the hospital was close to Heaven. He agreed that was a pretty accurate summation.
I then asked him why the fuck he wanted to send his dirtbags to Heaven. He got the point.

But the metal bat produces more bat speed which does more damage, is harder for the battee to deflect or dodge, and makes it more user friendly for most people. Moreover, it is easier to clean without leaving trace evidence.

Yes but, can you drive nails, spikes, and wood screws
into a metal bat?

I've become convinced that leftists live in some kind of fantasy land that has enough congruence with the real world to allow them to function, in some cases very well, almost all of the time, but it isn't the real world. Take this guy, for example. If the homeless guys were living in his alley, he might not have a problem with them being there. They may very well be able to live and let live indefinitely. But there's a nonzero probability that one or more of them is going to mug him, steal his stuff left outside, break into his house and steal his stuff inside, or at the very least leave stinking shit in the alley. Is that a price he's willing to pay to live in a fantasy land where those things don't happen? I wonder. I think some of them are willing to pay that price, because they're brainwashed to the point where they think it's acceptable. But those who can be brought to reality might be salvageable. Especially when the Burning Times come.

Scaramucci is new to me. I have read that he has been thick with
President Trump for a long time. Out of respect to him and President
Trump I will differ name calling until his actions warrant it.
As for as the rant goes, I loved it. I want the video.

Scaramucci won his job by threatening to sue CNN last month and making them retract a story and fire two staffers. Much like how Lincoln promoted Grant because he found him a general who would fight.

No transgender will make it to combat, they are in it to be a nuisance, a thorn, a sjw, and to get a free sex change op, that they will undoubtedly regret. Out. Enough!
And any doctor doing that operation should be arrested. Plain and simple. It's cruel. No man wants to be a woman when he has to "dialate" for a year and wear maxi pads. Reality fucking bites! Men don't want periods and childbirth. They couldn't handle it! That's why women, real women, have that job in life.

Crikey good gracious yes. What that guy said. Every word of it.
In my ideal universe that guy just qualified himself for a goodish position in the Trump administration.
